Adhesive Formulation

Andercol has water based, pressure sensitive auto-adhesives used directly in the fabrication of auto-adhesive tapes and labels and the formulation of ready-to-use products for tape and label applications and graphical arts. Our auto-adhesives offer outstanding characteristics such as: balanced formulas in functional properties (peel, hold and tack). 100% acrylic, high transparency, high resistance to water, excellent humectation on difficult substrates, low viscosity, and high machinability. Due to its low viscosity and stability, our products can be used by reverse roll gravure systems, reverse roll systems, Meyer bar, etc. They are also compatible with rheological agents to increment viscosity when used in system that require it. All our products comply with the stipulations of FDA regulation CFR 175.125 “Pressure Sensitive Adhesives” for additives in direct contact with food products.

Products

Andercol has a wide portfolio of adhesives aimed at the assembly and closing of cardboard boxes, with optimal balance in adhesive properties, excellent adhesion in a wide variety of substrates, high speed of attachment, resistance to humidity, machinability at high applications speeds and high resistance to heat, which permits adjustment to current needed speeds. Can be applied by direct transfer with roller or extrusion systems such as VALCO which is widely used in this segment. This adhesives are used in the lamination of substrates such as wood, cardboard, foam, Formica, leather, etc. to plastic material films and other such as PVC, polyester, treated polyolefin (BOPP, PE), metalized films among others.

Additionally, we offer solutions for the lamination industry with products of acrylic water based nature with excellent level of adhesion on difficult substrates, with low porosity or absorption and providing immediate high strength and durable adhesion, high tacticity and flexibility, outstanding sheen and transparency. They also possess a high drying velocity, high machinability, low foam formation and excellent mechanical stability. Our adhesives comply with the guidelines stipulated on FDA regulation FDA 175.105 “adhesives” for additives in indirect contact with food products, showing cero VOC emissions and without odor or flavor contamination of the package contents.

The tissue & towel products are used for support throughout tissue paper and kitchen disposable towel fabrication process. We provide solutions for the core formation stages or core winding transfer, lamination and tail sailing. Our products offer outstanding characteristics such as: excellent adhesion properties, high humidity tack for working at high speeds, high machinability, versatility for different types and weights of paper and adequate viscosity to avoid excessive penetration in substrates. All our products are compatible with modern application systems such as Fabio Perini, PCMC, and cascade application and spraying.

Wood adhesives are used in the bonding of woods with a humidity content up to 20%. They’re highly recommended for the veneering and assembly of pieces in applications where good levels of adhesion are required. We offer vinyl emulsions that characterize themselves for having an optimal balance of adhesive properties, possibility of use in ample variety of substrates, good machinability, fluidity and high adhesion speed. Our adhesives comply with all requirements stipulated on the FDA regulation 21 CFR 175.105 “Adhesives” for additives in indirect contact with food products.

Products

Home and Office adhesives are vinyl emulsions externally plasticized to achieve required flexibility in diverse fields. Our products are specially designed for book binding and graphical arts processes in paper to paper adhesion and crafts, school and domestic use in bonding paper to: fabric, cardboard, glass and wood. They possess an optimal balance of adhesive properties, high flexibility, high adhesion speeds and comply with the requirements of FDA regulation 21 CFR 175.105 “adhesives” for additives in indirect contact with food products. Its application can be manual or with a roller.

Bases are homopolymers of vinyl acetate used in the formulation of adhesives for assembly and bonding of wood pieces, assembly and closing of cardboard boxes, foam to cardboard or paper lamination and in general for the formulation of domestic use adhesives. Vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer bases are used primarily for the formulation of adhesives for PVC film bonding, polystyrene, acrylic, cellulose acetate and porous substrates such as: paper, wood, fabric, chipboard, urethane foam among others. All bases can be plasticized externally to modify its flexibility and adjust to each application needs.
